A modern short story from a prize-winning collection, riffing on the traditional Maori creation myth.
Taawhirimatea is the Maori god of weather. According to the Maori world creation story, he chose to stay with his sky father rather than join his siblings and his earth mother when the sky and the land first separated. To this day, he manipulates the weather, wreaking revenge for the separation of his parents. In this entertaining short story, Taawhirimatea is a television weather reporter who might just have more power than mere prediction. . .
